39　　The Jianghu guest narrowed his eyes and said, "Boy."

　　Um?

　　Chen Jie looked up, and Jianghu Ke said, "Aren't you curious about who I am?"

　　Chen Jie nodded and shook his head.

　　The Jianghu guest changed his posture and looked at him and asked, "What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?"

　　Chen Jie: "I'm curious, but I don't want to know."

　　"Why?"

　　"fear death!"

　　Chen Jie said this very straightforwardly. Jianghu Ke couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard it, "Haha, you kid don't play dumb."

　　"Hey, brother, how did you know that? When I was three years old, a fortune teller told me that my biggest problem in life is that I can't pretend to be confused."

　　…

　　Chen Jie continued eating wontons.

　　The Jianghu guest looked at him and said, "You really don't want to ask?"

　　Chen Jie ate the last wonton, stood up and said to the boss, "Let's pay this guest's bill together."

　　After saying that, he put the money on the table, bowed to the Jianghu guest and said, "Master, I am just a countryman. I don't want to know too much. The more I know, the faster I will die. I have elderly parents and children to take care of at home. I just want to live a good life. So please forgive me, master."

　　After saying that, Chen Jie turned around and left. Jianghu Ke squinted his eyes and looked at his back, muttering, "Interesting!"

　　Chen Jie left the wonton stall, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.

　　I'm still too weak. It's too stressful to be with such a strong person.

　　No, you have to seize the time to practice.

　　Thinking of this, he went to the grocery store and took away the bathtub.

　　On the way back to the village, he met many acquaintances on the road. Seeing Chen Jie buy another big cart of things, they were all envious. Look at Jiu Si's family, ever since they became an apprentice to Doctor Bai, their life has been getting better and better.

　　"Ninety-four is back."

　　"Oh my, Jiu Si bought so many things again?"

　　"Brother Jiu Si, next time there is any heavy work, I can help you carry it. Why do you have to do it yourself..."

　　One by one, they greeted Chen Jie.

　　Chen Jie also greeted them politely.

　　At this time, not far away, several people looked at Chen Jie coming back, with envy, jealousy and hatred on their faces!

　　"Humph, what's the big deal? He's just lucky enough to get close to Doctor Bai. He's always showing off, bah!"

　　Lu Qin cursed with a dark face.

　　Lu San, who was standing by, was leaning on a cane, his face dark, and he looked at Chen Jie's back with resentment.

　　Sitting opposite him were two people, Chen Sanliu and his son, Chen Xiong.

　　The two of them looked at Chen Jie, their eyes filled with crazy envy and jealousy. Why was he, a prodigal son, living such a good life now?

　　At this time, Chen Sanliu asked, "By the way, didn't Ma Liu go to him to collect the debt last time? Has he paid it back?"

　　Lu San said: "Haha, it's the old Bai family who came forward to give Ping a favor."

　　Chen Sanliu was furious when he heard this: "He is so damn lucky that everyone is helping him. By the way, Lu San, is what you said reliable?"

　　"Why is it unreliable? The fish farm has been too busy lately and needs to recruit some people. I went there every day recently and established all the relationships. Unfortunately, my leg..."

　　Lu San sighed when he said this.

　　The resentment in his eyes was hard to conceal.

　　Chen Sanliu and Chen Xiong looked at each other and said, "Three taels of silver."

　　Lu San said, "Three taels, that won't do. Five taels is five taels. Is five taels of silver too much for a future?"

　　Chen Sanliu said, "Brother Lu, you know my family's financial situation. I can't afford to give you more. How about I give you another 50 kilograms of grain?"

　　Lu San thought about it and looked at Lu Qinshi.

　　Lu Qin nodded, and Lu San said, "Okay, but you have to pay first."

　　Chen Sanliu hesitated after hearing this, and said for a long time: "Is your relationship really appropriate?"

　　Lu San said: "Don't worry, the fish pen matters are usually arranged by the captain, and I have a very good relationship with the captain. If it weren't for my leg problem, I would have gone. How can such a good thing happen to your family?"

　　"Uncle Sanliu, think about it, Chen Jiusi has married into the Bai family. If your family doesn't do something, you will be suppressed by Chen Jiusi for the rest of your life. Are you willing to accept that?"

　　Chen Sanliu gritted his teeth when he heard this and said, "How can I accept this? Chen Jiusi is not from the Chen family! My uncle is so confused!"

　　"Okay, Brother Lu, I'll leave this matter to you. But, brother, the person in charge of this fishing gang is Wu Zhong, will this work?"

　　"What's there to be afraid of? Wu Zhong doesn't control the fish pen alone. The transfer of personnel in the fish pen is now the responsibility of the captain. And the captain is not without background. His cousin is the manager of the White Tiger Hall of the Fishermen's Gang. His status is much higher than Wu Zhong. Usually, Wu Zhong has to give way to him."

　　"Think about it, if you are connected with him, do you still need to worry about Chen Jiusi?"

　　"Wu Zhong is only a little famous in Xiantao Town. In the county, he means nothing."

　　"If my brother Chen Xiong can be favored by the captain and recommended to his cousin, he can enter the county and work for a few years. He can be demoted to a fish pen manager at the very least. But what about Chen Jiusi? He can only be a doctor after a few years. What's so great about him?"

　　Lu San looked at Chen Sanliu and said.

　　After hearing this, Chen Sanliu's eyes lit up. Yes, he had a narrow vision and thought that Wu Zhong was a big shot. However, in the fishing gang, Wu Zhong was just a small character. If his son could really get along well with the big captain, then in the future, Chen Jiusi would be nothing in front of him.

　　Why are you so proud?

　　Thinking of this, Chen Sanliu said: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll leave this matter to Brother Lu San. I'll give you the money now."

　　"Okay, okay... When Brother Chen Xiong becomes successful in the future, you must help me deal with Chen Jiusi!"

　　"Brother Lu, rest assured. If I gain power, I will never let him get away with it!"

　　Several people were very satisfied, but when Chen Jie heard their laughter, he looked over here and several people were startled.

　　Lu San said: "Uncle Sanliu, Brother Chen Xiong, before things are done, keep a low profile, keep a low profile."

　　"Uh-huh."

　　Several people nodded and smiled apologetically to Chen Jie. Chen Sanliu even stood up and said, "Jiu Si has bought so many things again. I have always felt that you have great potential, Jiu Si. Haha..."

　　Chen Jie frowned slightly!

　　I always feel like these people are holding back.

　　But none of this matters. The most important thing now is to go home.

　　"Ma'am, I'm back!"

Chapter 52 Husband, is this okay?

　　"Brother-in-law!"

　　Before he reached home, the little kid came up to him, opened his arms, and tried to hug Chen Jie.

　　Chen Jie also smiled and said to the little kid, "Do you miss your brother-in-law?"

　　"I thought about it!"

　　"Is this true? You didn't lie to your brother-in-law, did you?"

　　"A liar is a puppy!"

　　Xiao Douding said affirmatively.

　　"Well, I believe you."

　　Chen Jie said with a smile, and looked up, he saw Su Yunjin standing there at the door. She had just finished her work, her hair was slightly disheveled, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off her face.

　　"My husband is back."

　　She spoke gently to her husband.

　　Chen Jie smiled and said, "Yeah."

　　"Why did you buy so many things again?"

　　"I went to town and bought some when I saw that my family needed it."

　　The three of them went into the house and started to carry things into the house. Chen Jie saw Su Yunjin sweating and a hoe in the yard and asked, "Are you working at home?"

　　"This yard is just sitting there, so I'll turn it over. Then I can buy some rapeseed and plant some vegetables, which will be enough for our family to eat."

　　Chen Jie said: "That's fine, but don't get too tired."

　　Su Yunjin thought for a moment and said, "Husband, I, I want you to take me to the town."

　　"Hmm? What's up?"

　　"I want to sell a few chickens and ducks and raise them so that we can have chicken and duck eggs to eat in the future."

　　"Okay, wait until I come back tomorrow and take you to town."

　　"Brother-in-law, I want to go too."

　　"Okay, I'll take you too."

　　"Thank you, brother-in-law."

　　After saying that, Su Yunjin walked into the house and poured a glass of water for Chen Jie. He was really thirsty and drank it all in one gulp.

　　Then Chen Jie took out the meat buns and roast chicken he had bought today.

　　Seeing the food, Xiao Douding's eyes almost popped out and he hugged Chen Jie: "Thank you, brother-in-law, you are the best."

　　Chen Jie laughed and said, "It would be bad if I don't buy you something delicious."

　　The little boy hesitated.

　　After a long while, he said reluctantly, "Alright, that's fine."
